From 07d92d5cc977a7fe1e683e1d4a6f723f7f2778cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 10:08:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] macvlan: allow to enqueue broadcast pkt on virtual device Since commit 412ca1550cbe ("macvlan: Move broadcasts into a work queue"), the driver uses tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit of packets enqueuing. Problem is that virtual drivers have this value set to 0, thus all broadcast packets were rejected. Because tx_queue_len was arbitrarily chosen, I replace it with a static limit of 1000 (also arbitrarily chosen).
